Students in Assam demand educational revamp

Guwahati, Sept 20 (ANI): Students of the All Assam Student Union and the All Bodo Student Union here took out a rally demanding restructuring of education system.

Holding placards and banners, they marched on the streets of Guwahati.

"Today, the condition of our educational system is very bad. So, the AASU and the All Bodo Student Union (ABSU) took out this joint protest rally to remind the government of its responsibilities," said Pramud Bodo, president, ABSU.

Samujjal Bhattacharya, advisor, All Assam Student Union (AASU), said: "In schools, we do not have teachers, permanent principals and permanent headmasters. We do not have good textbooks and good curriculum. We need the restructuring of the examination system. So, in all aspects, starting from primary level to university level, the Assam Government has failed miserably to give proper facilities to the student community."

There is little education, no electricity, no safe drinking water and no decent healthcare in the state. (ANI)
